私たちの日常はますますオンライン化しています。仕事や、家族・友人とのやりとりをはじめ、請求書の支払いや動画の視聴、ニュースに目を通し、音楽を聴くなど、多くの面でインターネットに依存しています。しかし、こうした私たちの行動を追跡できるデータが、悪用されうるのだというところについては、さほど憂慮していないかもしれません。なぜならプライバシーの取扱いには明確なルールがあり、プライバシーは保護されてしかるべきとの抽象的な認識を持っているからです。ですが、実際はそう安心もしていられないというのが本当のところです。私たちの健康情報、インターネットやソーシャルメディア、財務・信用情報、人間関係、公的な記録などに残したデータの痕跡は、常になりすましやハッキング、さらには政府の監視の餌食になっています。
私たちがプライバシーについて正しい認識を持たず、取扱いを間違えたり誤用すれば、個人や集団、そして社会が大きな危機にさらされることになります。しかし、プライバシーが関わる問題の広さ・大きさや重要性に対しての、一般の理解は十分であるとは言えません。プライバシーに対する考えは、文化による違いもあり、それをとりまく絶え間ない技術の進展も相まって、ますます厄介で複雑なものとなっています。プライバシーとは何を意味するのか、そしてなぜ重要なのか。本書は著者の法律、哲学、政治学、規制政策、生命倫理にわたる幅広い知識を駆使して、わかりやすく解説し、プライバシーの喪失がもたらす結果について解析しています。
    

  • Emphasizes information about privacy without advocating a particular perspective on privacy
  • Brings many diverse questions about privacy together in a single volume
  • Privacy is a moving target, especially where it concerns technology and law

  
We live more and more of our lives online; we rely on the internet as we work, correspond with friends and loved ones, and go through a multitude of mundane activities like paying bills, streaming videos, reading the news, and listening to music. Without thinking twice, we operate with the understanding that the data that traces these activities will not be abused now or in the future. There is an abstract idea of privacy that we invoke, and, concrete rules about our privacy that we can point to if we are pressed. Nonetheless, too often we are uneasily reminded that our privacy is not invulnerable-the data tracks we leave through our health information, the internet and social media, financial and credit information, personal relationships, and public lives make us continuously prey to identity theft, hacking, and even government surveillance. 
     
A great deal is at stake for individuals, groups, and societies if privacy is misunderstood, misdirected, or misused. Popular understanding of privacy doesn't match the heat the concept generates. With a host of cultural differences as to how privacy is understood globally and in different religions, and with ceaseless technological advancements, it is an increasingly complex topic. In this clear and accessible book, Leslie and John G. Francis guide us to an understanding of what privacy can mean and why it is so important. Drawing upon their extensive joint expertise in law, philosophy, political science, regulatory policy, and bioethics, they parse the consequences of the forfeiture, however great or small, of one's privacy.
